Q. No 2 Read the following and answer the questions given at the end:
The Government is taking seriously the issue of road sa.fety
and is committed to
reducing the number of people killed in aocidents. Forums are
being conducted
regularly to bring law-makers, law enforcement officers and road
users together to
discuss ways to tackle the rise in road accidents. Everyone agrees
that more needs to be
done on road safety in its determination to curb the rate of road
accidents in the
 2

country. The Governmsnt, with the cooperation of relevant agencies, is making serious
efforts to instill proper road culture in children, young adults and the public in general.

There are approximately 14 million cars on the road with the figure on the rise
and the traffic police have been taking a tough stance by slapping hefty fines and
'awarding' demerit points to the traffic offenders. The traffic police, however, have
taken a tough stance against traffic light defaulters. Typical reasons cited for beating
traffic lights include rushing to an urgent appointment or even worse to be completely
oblivious of the changing of the lights.

One common misconception held by motorists is that when the light turns
amber, they should speed up and clear the junction before the light turns red. But in
fact, the amber light indicates that the motorist should slow down in order to stop. By
following and understanding the guideline, unintentional traffic light beating will
almost be improbable, while making the road safer for everyone else.

Sometimes, motorists are flagged down by the police because they could have
committed one traffic offence or another. The most common are speeding, using the
hand phone without a hands-free kit, using the emergency lane or reckless driving. If
flagged down, indicate your intention by using your indicator and pull over to the side
and at night switch on your cabin lights. This will allow the police officer to look into
your car easily. Also, voluntarily turning on the light will show that you have nothing
to hide.

Usually at road blocks, for every 10 plain-clothes police officers, there would
be two uniformed police personnel manning the operation. If you are qtopped by
uniformed police officers while driving, stop the car and wind down your window. If
the police officers ask for your documents, request to see their identifications first. You
have the right to know the offence you have committed by asking the police officers.
Produce your identity card and driver's license and wait to collect your summons.
